We have spent the past 3 years clearing the site of waste. So far we have removed 20 tons of rubbish in skips including 11 tons of asbestos and recycled around 6 metal skips.
We have found all sorts buried in the woodland and on the river banks, from fridges, caravans, boats, cars, needles, beer kegs, endless broken glass, plastic, paint cans, rubble and tarmac etc! We are slowly starting to see some progress but we have got to the point now where we need to find a way for the site to start paying for itself to allow us to continue the clean-up.

We have had to separate the agricultural land from the house; so the house & garden is still Chalkpit Cottage, and the barns & meadows are now imaginatively called "Winchester Farm" (it's an old farm and its in Winchester...).
